Curatorial Narrative In the context of late 19th-century European art, “The Rehearsal” by Adolphe-Alexandre Lesrel occupies a pivotal position within the Renaissance Revival movement. Executed in 1897, this work showcases the artist’s mastery of fine brushwork and his ability to harmoniously blend rich reds, golds, and deep browns into a cohesive palette.
